Child psychiatrist and medical educator Leon Eisenberg (pictured) is said to be the father of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

Dr. Eisenberg retired in 1967 from Johns Hopkins Hospital Department of Child and adolescent psychiatry. He lead the research on ADHD.

“ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.”

These were the words of Leon Eisenberg, the scientific father of ADHD in his last interview before his death.

Leon Eisenberg made a luxurious living off of his “fictitious disease,” thanks to pharmaceutical sales.

Coincidentally, he received the “Ruane Prize for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Research. He has been a leader in child psychiatry for more than 40 years through his work in pharmacological trials, research, teaching, and social policy and for his theories of autism and social medicine,” according to Psychiatric News.

The deathbed confession of Dr. Eisenberg does not stand alone.

Dr. Edward C. Hamlyn, founding member of the Royal College of General Practitioners has said, “ADHD is a fraud intended to justify starting children on a life of drug addiction.”
